Or do I feel jealous that, unlike every other she-wolf here, I can’t flirt with him?

My gaze dips to his lips and I suddenly remember the kiss from the other day, my heart skips a beat and I look away quickly, my heart hammering.

“Wanna dance?” Angela asks him bravely. She told me she practiced this all day and I hope for her sake he says yes, even if something inside me didn’t like it.

“I don’t really want-”

“If he’s dancing with anyone, then it’s going to have to be someone prettier, like me,” an annoying nasally voice interrupts.

I know exactly who it is before I even turn around. Keira Jeoffrey, the pack slut to be precise. With her bleached blond hair, extra-long acrylics, botox-filled face, heavy false lashes, and breasts that are slightly bigger than mine thanks to her three boob jobs, she is the life-sized Barbie from hell.

She’s dressed in the tiniest hot pink dress one could find and with her garish make-up clashing with her fake tan, she looks like a hot mess.

I kinda wonder how he even slept with her in the past. But then again, she has gotten worse over the years…

I am sure I will be having nightmares tonight.

Even Elijah is staring, he looks over at Aaron, before looking back at her and I wonder if he somehow didn’t recognise her.

“Keira?” he asks in disbelief.

“The one and only.” She bats her fake lashes at him.

“How could you not recognise that beautiful voice?” I ask sarcastically, making Angela snicker.

“It’s probably because I look so much hotter now. Right, Alpha?” she coos.

“Um…” Elijah trails off. I smirk, seeing him at a loss for words. Unlike Keira, who thinks he is impressed, I know thetruth. Even Angela doesn’t seem to realise Elijah is less than impressed as she admires him.

“Alpha?” I say sweetly. “You really should dance with Chuckie’s sister- I mean, Keira.”

“Hell no…” Elijah says, his gorgeous eyes still a little wide. He smirks at me, realising I’m clearly enjoying the scene and cocks a brow.

Oh, he’s up to something. Before I can respond, he slings an arm around my shoulders and smiles at the girls. “Forgive me ladies, but I think I’m going to dance with my… sister. We have a lot to catch up on. Wouldn’t you agree, Red?”

My heart is hammering, my eyes wide. His proximity and what he has just said have shocked me, leaving me mute. Not bothering to wait for my reply, Elijah simply smirks. Taking hold of my wrist, he pulls me towards the dance floor, leaving the other two she-wolves speechless.

Dancing in the Night

“Elijah!” I exclaim as he stops on the dance floor and looks down at me and, as if on cue, the previous song comes to an end and ‘Lonely’ by Diplo begins playing. He looks down at me, a tantalising smile playing on his lips.

“Come on, Red, let’s see those moves that had every girl in school envious of you,” he says before he begins singing along to the music. My heart skips a beat the moment he begins moving to the rhythm of the music, and my stomach flutters crazily.Is this a dream I will suddenly wake up from?

Am I dancing with Elijah? And did he actually ask to dance with me? Stop thinking, just live in the moment.

I begin dancing, raising my hands as I sway my body to the music. His eyes are on me and there’s something about them, like he’s enjoying what he’s seeing. He takes my hand, spinning me around, that tingle where we connect, sending pleasure up through me. He tugs me back against him, and I lean into him as he dances behind me.

Every time his hands skim over me or touch me, I can feel the sizzling current that makes my heart pound.At times, his touches linger a little longer than needed. Like right now, hishand is on my stomach, and instead of just removing it, he applies pressure, sliding it slightly lower, a move that sends my core into a frenzy, the pleasure making my pussy throb.

I look up at him as I spin around. His cerulean eyes are darker as they bore into mine. He swallows, turning and nudges me with his hip, making me stumble, as I’m not expecting it, and I can’t help but smile despite myself and nudge him back with a little more force.

Our eyes meet and a soft smile crosses his face, one that makes my heart skip another beat. My eyes widen in shock when I realise he’s actually smiling! It is rare to see a genuine smile on that handsome face of his. My heart thuds and I almost stop dancing until he grabs me by the hips, yanking me closer and continues dancing with me. I’m in a daze, the Elijah before me is one I do not recognise.He is so different from how he was two years ago…

You’re an even better dancer than the last time I saw you,Elijah says through the mind-link. He spins me around when someone steps closer, and I almost knock into them, breaking both Elijah and me from our little bubble.

“Mind if I cut in Alpha, at least spare the one girl you can’t have for the rest of us poor folk,” Hank says with a smirk, his hazel eyes are similar to his sister’s, but I hate the look in them.
